Friends for Life by Billi Tiner is a touching tale of two puppies who are brought together by chance and vow to be friends forever.

When Bo, a bulldog, is sold to a pet store by his owner he is terrified and longs to be with his mother. But, as luck may have it Bo meets Rico, a Chihuahua puppy, and the two become fast friends. The puppies are excited about finding forever homes, however, their hopes are dashed when dognappers break into the pet store to steal Bo. Rico begins barking in order to save his friend and finds himself dognapped as well. Bo and Rico work together and are able to escape, but are far away from the comfort of the pet store. Now that the puppies are on their own they must learn how to survive all the dangers that await them. They soon learn that they can overcome any obstacles as long as they stick together.

Billi Tiner is a gifted story teller and her book Friends for Life does not disappoint.

Young readers will discover what it means to be a true friend as well as find humor in the crazy escapades of two young pups as they learn to survive on their own in this great big world.

I recommend reading Friends for Life as well as Welcome Home, the book in which Bo and Rico are first introduced.
